• Using Your Battery
Our laboratory testing has shown that our digital camera models comply
with industry standard battery consumption levels (Camera & Imaging
Products Association commonly known as CIPA).
All digital cameras are high drain products. For the best performance and
prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of a high capacity battery
designed for such applications. (The lithium ion battery included with your
camera is a high capacity battery).
Here are some helpful hints to extend battery life considerably by limiting
the following activities:
• Reviewing photos on the LCD Screen
• Excessive use of the flash
• Remove the battery from your camera when not in use to prevent
battery leakage.
WARNING!
• The battery should be replaced by an adult.
• Use recommended or equivalent type of batteries only.
• Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.
• Remove the exhausted battery from the camera immediately.
• Do not short the supply terminals.
• Please dispose of the battery properly.
These instructions should be retained for future reference.
